Hello Mudder

I found this big fella spending the morning hours enjoying the mud at the edge of a Missouri farm pond.

This frog seemed pretty happy and healthy but I learned from a Wikipedia search…  “Frog populations have declined significantly since the 1950s. More than one third of species are considered to be threatened with extinction and over one hundred and twenty are believed to have become extinct since the 1980s. The number of malformations among frogs is on the rise and an emerging fungal disease, chytridiomycosis, has spread around the world.”
